Vail, Colorado Mountain Activities & Recreation

No matter the season, there’s always something to do in Vail. Obviously it’s famed for its incredible slopes and terrain for skiing and snowboarding when the snow comes, but it holds in its palm so much more adventure with each passing season. Early spring, when the ski season is winding down, brings 5 weeks of free concerts once a week in the village. Everything from hip hop to classic jazz to old time rock ‘n roll will grace the stage and rock the house, a favorite event of the locals as far away as Leadville and Eagle.

Escape the scorching heat of a Denver summer in Vail, where the peak temperature rarely exceeds 80F, and experience intense whitewater rafting and kayaking, or take the gondola to the top of the mountain and make your way down grassy slopes on a mountain bike. Hiking, 4-wheeling, horseback riding, and fly fishing all keep Vail hopping during the summer.

Autumn brings scenic drives through spectacular fall colors, leisurely horseback rides through trails used only by the few, incredible camping accessible only by 4-wheeling, and art festivals to pique your taste for culture.
